The Metacrisis: A Game Theory Perspective | Dr. Ashley Hodgson

Can we solve the metacrisis through the lens of game theory? In this episode, we speak with Ashley Hodgson about the game-theoretic dynamics driving the metacrisis — and how we might shift the game toward a more just and sustainable future.

We explore how transparency, information flow, and cultural narratives shape power and cooperation in society, and why overcoming in-group vs. out-group dynamics is key to progress. The conversation also touches on epistemic humility, relationship-building, and how genuine change begins with those most willing to cooperate.
